You might benefit from a visit to the DX Engineering web site 
(http://www.dxengineering.com/) where your path to Nirvana is Base 
Station Antennas -> Multi-Band Dipoles. These guys do a great job of 
explaining the reasons for certain designs, choices of antenna lengths, 
feed-line types and lengths, the use of suitable choke-type baluns, and 
so on. And they sell great hardware. Their prices indicate that they are 
proud of their products, as they should be, but I'm happy that I 
purchased some of the critical components of my 80-10 meter doublet from 
them.

Good luck with your antenna system,

Gus Hansen
